When I am not connected to the VPN, minikube is starting as expected:

PS C:\Windows\system32> minikube start
* minikube v1.9.2 on Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.18363 Build 18363
* Using the hyperv driver based on existing profile
* Starting control plane node m01 in cluster minikube
* Updating the running hyperv "minikube" VM ...
* Preparing Kubernetes v1.18.0 on Docker 19.03.8 ...

* Enabling addons: default-storageclass, storage-provisioner

Once I am connectong to the VPN antri triing to start the minikube, it fails with an error:

I was facing a similar issue while running the following command:

minikube start --vm-driver="hyperv" --hyperv-virtual-switch="minikube"

Then I went through some github and stackoverflow threads and was able to resolve my issue by running following command:

minikube delete

minikube start --vm-driver="hyperv"

In my case, passing 'hyperv-virtual-switch' argument was causing the issue.

I would suggest you to check if your virtual switch is configured with your vpn network or not.

If not, then you can perform the following steps to do so:

  1. Go to network and sharing center settings of windows:

network and sharing center

  1. Select your network and open the properties window for it. Go to the "Sharing" tab and allow your configured virtual switch over there.
